I'm looking for some advice on OBIEE Tables I've an issue where I bring in a date field and the Total line tries to aggregate the dates.

I've so far tried unchecking Report Based Total (when applicable) and setting the filed to an Attribute with no success

I've also tried looking at the XML in the Advanced tab of the reports editor but have been unable to adjust the formatting there.

Can anyone give some insight on how to tackle the issue?

  • What kind of model do you have? If the table give you a total for your date it means it's a measure and so it can be right but it can also (often) be wrong ...

    Thanks for the reply.

    It's set up as a measure as in some instance we are required to find the difference between a baseline and forecast date however in this instance we just need it to display the date with no aggregation certainly not in the Total line.

    Can you set the Aggregation to "None" in the Criteria tab?

    Difference in dates is a measure

    Date itself is an attribute - get it into a dimension where it belongs.
